#262 - Weekly Energy Update for April 16, 2023: Eclipse Season and Mercury Retrograde

Everything changes this week. This week's events, including the New Moon Solar Eclipse, the beginning of Taurus season, and Mercury Retrograde, help us transition to our new lives and identities. Over the past six months, we've undergone some major internal and external changes, and now we're in the home stretch.

This is a rare hybrid solar eclipse. Hybrid Eclipses only happen a few times a century and carry the energy of shifting between 2 worlds. This new moon is our gateway to a new reality. Doors will open, bringing even more new opportunities and new pathways.

This is the second new moon in a row in Aries. Having two powerful new moons back to back in Aries makes this one more intense. To add to the excitement, this eclipse occurs at the final degree of Aries. Having such a powerful Eclipse on this highly charged point indicates a karmic event or destiny that is unfolding. 

This eclipse carries so much "new beginning" energy that it has the power to dramatically alter the course of our lives. This eclipse puts us back on track if we've gotten off it in any way.

24 hours after this eclipse, Taurus season begins. This is a big energetic shift. When the sun moves into Taurus, things slow down, allowing us to take a break. Taurus season is about focusing on simple pleasures. Let yourself sleep in, order takeout, and watch your favorite movies. This is our opportunity to get grounded and settle into our new lives.

And then within 24 hours of Taurus Season starting Mercury goes Retrograde. This is our first retrograde planet since January. Mercury retrogrades are the best times for “re” activities: reviewing, revising, rethinking, and redoing. 

Even if you haven't noticed it, you have been going through a big internal transformation. This is our opportunity to slow down and settle into our new selves. We've had many life upgrades over the past few months, so give yourself the time you need to integrate them. There's no rush. This next chapter lasts for years, so ease into it and enjoy the ride.
